My 2018 Oscars Predictions

Tomorrow is my version of yuletide. When I get up early in the morning, woozy with excitement and I wait for abstraction after a year’s worth of anticipation. Will I get what I want? or Will my heart shatter into pieces?

2017 has been such a roller-coaster of a year to me, personally and professionally. Loved certain films and mostly, enjoyed them at the theatres. Oscars, may not be only defining terms for a good film, but winning the most coveted awards, is definitely an honour for many.

With many of the technical and acting categories already locked up, never there has been a Best Picture race quite like this. Monday’s Academy Awards will really be about two different Oscars ~ Best Picture and 23 other categories. That’s due to the preferential ballot for Best Picture category. Usually, there’s a tough fight between two films, but this year there are nearly four top contenders (The Shape of Water, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Get out and Lady Bird). And Best Picture wins by the 7,800 Oscar voters preference and not by the clear majority of votes like the other categories. Means even if Shape of Water is 10 members first preference and Get Out is 20 members second preference, Get Out can win it.

With that knowledge out in the open, here are my Oscar predictions for the 24 categories. (Yet to watch 6 nominated films from the final list) : Fingers Crossed:
